lyrics

Took a placebo
in the gazebo.
Watched all the trees grow
into their seeds,
sow fields with great ease, just
like a disease, just
doing their thing,
justifiably nerve-wracking

panic ensues me,
pursues me, subdues me.
Perusing my thoughts
and I'm not absolutely
sure if I'm really
in the control group.
Not sure I'm really
in that control group.

I can't remember.
I can remember,
remember the time when--
when I was ninety-
nine percent certain
I could remember
staring at trees,
though it seems
that the leaves
have turned greener
and greener,
and now they're receding
to ashes to ashes,
to dust through the centuries.
Exiting, entering history endlessly.
Trans-dimensional I live in non-Euclidean geometry.

Tongues are growing out of the ground.
They are growing out of the ground.
The dirt, it curls like lips around them.
I'm certain
This wasn't the control group now.

How long will it last and
how much time is past? It says
10 after 10 after 10
on my watch, it's been
hours and hours
and hours and hours
and hours and hours
and hours and hours.

And now I'm unsure
where I left the gazebo.
Not sure there ever
was a placebo.

And now I'm unsure
where I left the gazebo.
Not sure I'll ever
find the gazebo.
